RAM Pumps

HEAVY DUTY PUMPS FOR FILTER PRESS AND TRANSFER APPLICATIONS

The hydraulic cylinder driving the sludge ram is built to off shore specifications and is of a hardwearing design featuring a chrome piston rod. The hydraulic cylinder also features extensive internal guidance and support for the piston rod thereby eliminating lateral forces upon the hydraulic seals, which can promote oil leaks. The top of the hydraulic cylinder features internal, hydraulic cushioning to facilitate absolute control over the sludge ram at the top of the stroke where the ram changes direction from up to down. This contributes to the quite operation of the pump.

This hydraulic unit comprises a hydraulic oil tank beneath which sits an electric motor driving through a bell housing and coupling to a variable speed, pressure compensated hydraulic oil pump.

This style of pump was originally designed for the pumping of clay slip in the pottery industry but due to the pumping characteristics of the unit it has been used in many industrial applications.
